Dom,

Can you give some more details as the release date of mid April approaches?

I'm really looking forward to this product, since I would like to find a replacement for Megs Shampoo Plus.

Late April, if the planets are in alignment.

We are concentrating on launching Lime Prime Late properly in both 250ml and 500ml before it. (Within ten days hopefully!).

LOL, you are a devil Phil ;)

The name is my own doing and is suitably perverse.

Ermm, it'll be purple. It'll smell nice. The name is silly. It is available in 250ml and 500ml. Did I mention that the name was silly?

Lime Prime Lite is arriving this week for launch and availability early next, so once that's out of the way I'll get the techs to start stirring this stuff up.

:D

Dom,

Can you say how many washes you can get with the 500ml? What dilution ratio (in litres please!)?

Slewey

It works with just a capful in a bucket in my tests, but people will find their own level. We're careful not to say too small dose in case people complain they only get 249 buckets out of the bottle, instead of 254.5.

You can fiddle with the dosage rate all day long. Too little and the soil particles won't be lubricated enough, too much and you're wasting it (or stripping off wax if it is a more aggressive product).

I am out of shampoo now and can't wait for the Dodo.

What is a good alternative to AG as I am happy with the product but would like to try others or stay with AG if not?

Tesco Pink - smells awesome and performs well to boot.

***** Autowash (the green one in halfords) - also smells good but performs better than either of the above.

Pre-launch stock trialled tomorrow at the detailing tuition meet... production stocks made next week... launch and general availability the week after :)

I'm sure the name will make it to these pages at some point tomorrow. It suits our maintenance shampoo quite nicely ;)

I've got some in the boot of my car and will be testing it tomorrow......(althought the bottle are eerily similar to body shop bottles - got to keep it away from the Mrs or she will be using it as shower gel).

had the first go with it yesterday at the training day, its nice stuff, only 3 caps and it did foam up plenty and was very well lubricated too, another top product IMO

Well ive just tested it. 3 capfuls in a standard bucket for ratio, and


















its good, in fact its damn good.

and ive just tested lime prime lite then supernatural.



bugga, ive got to spend more cash now........

Dodo Factory

Glad you like it Pete :)

Three capfuls does work nicely; I should point out that they are mini capfuls so not a lot gets used. We put 2-4 capfuls as the guide in case people wanted to have it 'thinner' or 'thicker'. We used 3x capfuls in the big wash bucket on the detailing tuition day.

Yep that was the first time i had seen let alone used the wash, i was really impressed and stunned at how little was needed, used it again today still stunned how good it is, :thumb:

didnt find it quite as foamy as the megs shampoo i norm use, but very very slick (more so than the megs imho) and most importantly, it smells nice.

I will be buying a big bottle when they come out.

Dodo Factory

Yup, slickness, or lubricity, is often at the expense of foamability... both have an effect in terms of the foam lifting dirt from the surface on contact and the slickness helping to lubricate dirt preventing the soil particles 'dragging' across the paint. I think we got the mix right. The problem with too much foam is too much air and too much dilution of the active ingredients, so it's a fine balance...

Carlylove

Sounds good.

I am going to wait now to buy some as I have got to say my wax is still great even on my old work horse after a month :doublesho

Can someone post a link to a site that sells it AS SOON as it is available to the public please?

Also if someone has 6 capfulls I could have whilst I am waiting I would appreciate it :D
